I always love it when some massive piece of web infrastructure goes down but most websites I use are self-hosted so the only real effect is I see lots of news stories that cloudflare is down.

    I saw people speculating about this, but it’ll be interesting to see if that’s really what it was (and if so, if they’d admit it).

      I’m sure it was, and I’m sure they will not admit it.

      So I’ll throw this into the “conspiracy theory, but probably true” pile; and I’ll try to remember to check snopes.com in 20 years to see if I was somehow wrong.

      “Did Vibe coding really routinely break half the Internet is the 2020s?” …assuming the Internet and I are still both around by then…

      Edit: I’m already wrong. It sounds like it was computers being stupid is old tried and true ways; not computers being stupid in new trendy ways.
